One of the many efforts the Mary Stolfa Cancer Foundation is dedicated to, is the support of cancer research. Organized fundraisers, as well as public contributions and sponsorships are one of the pivital methods the foundation raises funds to be used for this purpose. The funds raised from events and other forms of contribution are dispersed towards the many efforts that the Mary Stolfa Cancer Foundation was established for and continues to work towards.  Together, we can make a difference.
